While AKA's assassination is still under investigation, Lynn said she has chosen to take it one step at a time.
“I’ve always believed that my heart was big and spacious with many rooms to accommodate many people. These days I often feel like where my heart used to be there is just a big hole in my chest, without space even for myself. Grief is not something you get over, it never ends. You just learn to live with it and grow around it.
“And in the moments when it feels like the Band-Aid is being ripped off the healing wound, you start all over again, until the next time and the next time and the next time.”
